AUSTIN: 2020 Beta dirtbikes
- Thread starter Dao
- Start date
IMO the new '20 Betas are the best bike in the offroad market now.
It's very hard to ignore the X-trainer concept, especially if Beta holds strong quality and consistency manufacturing standards to offer reliability and durability for the bike in enduro and hard-enduro events.
Problem is for us taller and heavier guys, a bike that doesn't allow us to stretch out over the bike to contol our balance points as well as the smaller folks and kids can is a negative point and why I'm not myself convinced it's the best option for everyone.

You should buy one and if it doesn't fit give it to me! In the event that it fits like a glove you could give me your current 300.

How about I meet you halfway, where if I can ever scrape up the money to buy one someday you show me how to ride it around HF or somewhere fun?

Ktm has the freeride aswell.
As for beta quality control the 19 models had some crank bearing failure due to a bad batch of bearings. But that was taking care of by beta as failures occurred. The problem has been solved moving forward as I understand.

That’s a fair offer!How about I meet you halfway, where if I can ever scrape up the money to buy one someday you show me how to ride it around HF or somewhere fun?
Wait I thought the 2020 Freeride 2 and 4 strokes got cancelled for US distribution..?

never slow down...you never grow old
I test rode a X-Trainer last year and it did not feel small in the least. For reference I am 6'0", 35" inseam and was 210 lbs. out of the shower at that time. I believe the seat height is still >34"
My KTM 200 with a taller seat height feels much smaller. Overall bike ergos are targeted for a smaller rider.

My riding boots add 2" LOL
213 lbs was my high mark but since March this year I've been eating less, eating healthier, drinking less beer and started exercising daily in June (but with a 6 week break while traveling). Down to ~170 lbs now and have increased my strength in the process. Cardio is much improved as well with daily running.

Good luck, can't imagine you at 170, just remember you as a big man. Oh, beer is a health food IMO, made with yeast and full of B vitamins!
It may have more to do with my brain's processing power these days than anything else...Maybe you have known him longer than I.
What I mean is, it's just an Apple IIe...
